Review of Black Sabbath (1963) by Matt C — 04 Aug 2016

If horror auteur Mario Bava's use of lighting, color, and sets doesn't positively thrill you in this film than you might be dead. I was disappointed to discover halfway through the film that I was apparently watching an American version edited down by AIP, which made "The Telephone" especially not make a lick of sense.

And the dubbing was pretty distracting. I wish I had seen the original Italian version, and I guess I'll just end up seeing that too, but it was sort of interesting to think that I was watching it as any American seeing it in 1963 would have seen it.

Still want see the "real" Italian one though.
